14 R THE MIRROR p tWe should like to know who the young gentleman is that Miss Flagg drives to school every morning in her new Whip- pet-6. Our suspicions have led us to believe that he sits in room 14. We leave her our sincerest hopes that she will find another companion from the class of 1932 as appreciative as her former passenger. To sum up the brilliant career of Miss Rigby in Commer- cial Law, we hereby appoint her as attorney for the defense of pupils summoned to the sanctum sanctorum of Judge Arthur N. Burke on the charge of misbe-havior. In order that Mr. Sheehy may continue his good work of directing the wayward sophomores to their home rooms as they enter the building at one o'clock, we leave him a police- man's uniform to add dignity to his authority. To Mrs. Clapp we l-eave a metronome to keep time for her unsteady beginners in typing, also, a new supply of Ruth Edd- ing's latest song hits to play on her much used phonograph. To Miss Mudgett we leave a supply of water buckets to be placed in room 19 at the time of floods caused by one of the experimental geniuses in her laboratory classes. To Mr. Nottenburg we leave the honor of being the chief printer of the New York Times as a reward for his excellent work in the publishing of the Mirror. To Mr. Leary and Miss Sewall we leave the lastest edition of Perfect Alibis that have been in the past and will be- in the future used by pupils who do not desire the athletic build. To Mr. Kimball we leave a class of curious boys who de- light in puzzling out endless examples of why and how a ,thing is done in Physics. To Mr. Crawford we leave our deepest sympathy at having to lose his former symphony players, and we hope that the orchestra of 1932 will be able to equal the genius ability of its predecessors. 1 To Miss Norris we leave our fondest wishes that she may continue to enjoy the socials and proms of the coming year, and that she may continue to have equally as good dancing partners as have been in her former sophomore classes.

THE MIRRCR 13 To Miss Hunter we leave a class for the fourth period so that she may not be able to go looking for wandering girls. To Miss Woodward we leave the permanent honor of being the head of the employment agency so that she may be able to find suitable positions for her industrious pupils. To Mr. Hollis we leave a passenger balloon so that he may take his pupils for a trip to fairy land to secure- proofs for his imaginary stories. To Mr. Hodge- we leave an inexhaustible package of cough drops with which to supply his classes, and to his famous Collie dog, Lord Ronald, Major for short, we leave our deepest sympathy for having such a harsh master. To Miss Campbell we leave a ten-year contract with War- ner Brothers Movietone Company so that she may continue in her good work in producing plays. To Miss Rand we leave our sincerest sympathy at having lost such a class as 1931, because of its dramatic ability. To Miss Hoffman we leave a Daschund puppy to remind her of her many trips to Germany. To Miss Clement we leave a new French flag to take the place of the remains now hanging in room 9. To the trio of our faculty, Miss Hart, Miss Rockwood, and Miss Darmedy we leave a suite of rooms in the new high school, in which they may spend their leisure moments in each otheris beloved company. To lighten the toil of climbing to the fourth floor to her domestic pupils every morning, we leave Miss Cutting the en- couraging thought that she does not have to climb the Bunker Hill Monument instead. To Miss Spencer we leave a class of Albert Einsteins so that she may at last iind someone who understands the theory or relativity.. To Miss Marcher we leave th-e hopes of having her library occupied by as studious pupils as those- in the class of 1931 so that she may save wear and tear on the ends of her pencils on highly polished tables to restrain all commotion, also a noise- less typewriter so that moments of concentration will not be rudely interrupted.
